This except there was a huge dent over the back left tire. It also looked older and more beaten up. Dents not from me
 
^My beautiful lincoln towncar. Car phone and duct tape windows included.
Working windows/dashboard/airconditioning/sound system not included.
 
93 525i BMW... Still don't have my license though (Just turned 17).
My grandpa is a BMW specialist and owns a BMW shop so he gave it to me for my 15th birthday. I'm spoiled, I know.
 
those cars are not expensive at all, you can find them for like 2 grand easily. so ur not spoiled. but they are still sick!
 
If you get a forest after 2004 (I think) its a good choice because they fixed the head gaskets problem. Ive got one like the picture you posted and its great. I drove it across the continent, and up crazy logging roads with tons of rocks and stuff and I have had no problems. It has enough space to sleep in the back, and it doesnt use up as much gas as a jeep does. Furthermore, buy buying a jeep you are basically buying a chrysler SUV.
 
i picked up a 1990 subaru legacy wagon, 5 speed manual for 950 with a ski rack. i have had it for about a year and a half now. my friends fill it with garbage but i still love it.

2002 Land Rover Freelander

Went through my dad, brother, and unfortunately, my sister. She abused it so bad that it needed a new engine and at least three sets of brake pads. The new engine worked great, but unfortunately the transmission crapped out and cost way more than the car as worth to fix. Amazing ski car. The four wheel drive plowed through snow as good as anything i've ever seen, save a snow cat.
 
ok, i really dont give a shit about jeep's or chryslers. so this isnt coming from some big jeep fan. but your just another typical hippie subaru dick sucker. saying that by buying a subaru suv instead of a jeep means your getting a higher quality car is just wrong. its a fucking forrester, theres nothing special about it. jeeps last forever too. they are just as reliable. and unlike the forrester, the jeep can actually offroad, like an suv should be able to. actually i know two kids at my school who's subaru engine's one being a forrester didnt last over 200,000 miles.

 
Tell that to Consumer Reports, I'm sure you know more about reliability than them. Which list has the forester and which has the jeep.

I cant quote (for some reason?) but my first car was a 93 bmw 535i and it was amazing. I have a dodge nitro now, that I love. I used to own a land rover but they suck and have engine fail problems.
 
yeah i learned to drive in a 95 pathfinder, i loved that thing, i was teaching one of my friends how to drive stick and she rolled it. awesome.
now i'm driving this, except mine is red:
1287529881240SX-2.jpg

 
2004 Ford Focus SE. After the 120,000 miles I put on her, she hasn't failed me yet.

And way to go Mr. ConsumerReports, I am quite a fan of the annual auto issue
 
she was coming up to a curve in the road and i told her to slow down cause it was a bit tighter than it looked, and she goes "i don't know how." i guess she got confused on how to downshift. i was like.... brakes maybe???
so she took it way too fast, went a little wide and hit some gravel, ended up fishtailing and rolling it into the ditch on the opposite side of the road. i was in the passenger seat and we landed on my side, she had to pull me out the drivers side because mine was completely mangled.
moral of story: don't let your dumb friends drive your car, and always wear a seatbelt.

A subaru is awd all the time. A jeep is 2wd, 4wd when it is turned on, there is no comparing the two.

You cannot spell worth shit.

The two kids you know at school with Subaru's probably bought them used you fucking retard.

 
first of all this is from 2007, which doesnt say much in terms of long term reliability at all. and the forrester posted was a first generation, which was not all that reliable, i have a friend working at a subaru/mazda/kia dealer and he says he sees more subaru's between 98-05 or so with blown motors than anything else. forresters included, though most of them are impreza's alot of them didnt make it past 100,000 miles. i personally know of many jeep owners with tons of miles on their cars and no problems. one kids is almost to 400,000 miles on stock engine, tranny everything, he's owned it for the last 120,000 miles beats it to shit, offroads all the time and he hasnt had to fix one thing.so a forrester may have less problems when it comes to little annoyances that come up, but id trust a jeep over a subaru any day to last me a long time. in my experience with both cars, subaru's just tend to be built alot less robust than most other cars.
though neither jeep or subaru is something to brag about in terms of quality. im not a very big fan of either, but atleast jeep's can offroad like they are supposed to. unlike subaru's "competeator" car the forrester which is basically a minivan with a body that resembles an suv, it cant offroad for shit. its a gutless car for moms and lesbo's to drive around.
 
it may be cheap but your still getting a better car than most other cars that cost 8-15k. old bmw's are the shit, you get sooo much for the money.
 
1999 volvo station wagon. 161000 miles on it and it used to be my moms, i love it so much!

it can fit many people and it can fit skis, bikes or whatever you want to put in it
 
If you plan on any real fun off the pavement buy the jeep, and if you want something a little more practical for a car thats point A to point B buy the subie. Both cars will be good in the snow if you have proper tires. My buddies cherokee is at 250k and the motor is still strong. Everything he has had to fix on it was his own fault from driving it to fast stock in the bush.
 
miata's are the shit, they are sooo underrated. ive seen stock ones with springs at track days passing modded sti's, evo's etc.. like nothing. light rwd momentum cars are so much more fun than a numb heavy awd turbo car. it takes alot more skill to drive too.
